Energy Solutions is a simple, cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and comfort in your home. Most homes are under-insulated, which costs you money and results in an uncomfortable home environment. Adding attic insulation can lower air conditioning costs in summer and prevent heat loss in winter, cutting your energy bills significantly.

The best type of attic insulation for your home depends on factors such as climate, age, and the size of your attic. The recommended R-value varies by region, so consulting an expert is the best way to determine which kind of insulation you need.

Blanket Insulation (Batts and Rolls)

Often made from fiberglass, cotton, mineral wool, or plastic fibers, blanket insulation comes in pre-cut sheets known as “batts” or rolls. These are a popular DIY option because they’re inexpensive and easy to install. However, they are less effective than other types of attic insulation.

Loose-Fill Insulation (Blown-In)

With loose-fill insulation, bags of cellulose, fiberglass, or rock wool are blown into place with a machine. It works best for attics with varying joist spacing and other obstacles, as it fills gaps and crevices effectively. However, it’s important to hire a professional for this project due to the safety precautions that must be taken and its higher installation cost.

The septic company is almost here, and, like it or not, your septic system is going to have some problems. That’s why it’s so important to be proactive about getting your septic tank pumped before the heavy storms arrive. As the old saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and this is especially true for your septic system.

When your septic system is working correctly, partially filtered wastewater and sewage is sent to the drain field where it is absorbed into the ground by soil that filters it through sand and dirt. However, during heavy rains, the drain field can become saturated. The excess sewage then has nowhere to go and it begins to back up into the home, causing toilets to flush slowly or even a backed-up sewage smell.

SURFACE PRESSURE PUMPS

When water pressures of 30 psi to 60 psi are required, a surface pump is the ideal choice. These pumps include built-in pump controllers and small pressure tanks to make them complete rainwater delivery systems. The controller automatically starts and stops the pump whenever a faucet or valve is opened. It also shuts off the pump when the rainwater tank is dry to prevent dry-running, and the pressure tank minimizes pump cycling when water flow rates are low.

In addition to having your septic tank pumped before the rainy season, you can help your system by fixing any leaky faucets and encouraging everyone in the household to take shorter showers during heavy rains. You should also limit laundry and dishwasher use.

Septic tanks are designed to hold wastewater that is drained from septic systems at your home or commercial property. Wastewater flows into a tank where solid waste settles in the bottom and lighter materials float to the top. As solid waste accumulates, it limits the space for new wastewater to enter, resulting in clogs and backups. Routinely pumping the septic tank removes the accumulated solid waste, reducing the risk of costly repairs and maintenance.

A full septic services tank can cause foul sewage smells that permeate the entire home and surrounding yard. Foul odors can also indicate the presence of raw sewage leaking from underground pipes connected to the septic tank. Pumping the septic tank regularly eliminates these unpleasant odors, preserving your home’s value and improving the overall environment of your property.
